Hey guys,
I'm slowly getting this truck back to operating condition thanks to the Socal guys who helped me a ton at the spring fling this weekend. I currently have a shackle drop from djm that is probably between 3"-5". I have no idea exactly as I bought the truck like this but I'm guessing towards the 5" drop because my bump stops are cut to less than an inch and get pounded all the time. My question is what are the best shocks to run in the rear? Part numbers would be great if you have them. Don't really want want to spend the money on QA1's like I have up front. One shock is broken and has no bushing whatsoever. Help!

Best thing you can do for the rear with that much of a drop is a c-notch. :biggthumpup:

Rancho has some adjustables that are cheaper than the QA1s, if you're looking for an adjustable shock.

I am not opposed to a c-notch but I still need to buy new shocks!

Though rancho was for lifted. I'm considering some belltech street performances.

One step ahead of you J. Just pulled the trigger on some belltech street performance shocks on ebay. Works with 0-4" drop. I will let you know when I install them how they are.

Haha nice man. I have some belltech nitro drop 2s but I heard the streets are firmer so let me know how you like them, might switch.

Trying to get my suspension down. I was wondering about if anyone had run sensitrac or Monroe reflex and was curious about the ranchos. Honestly I was thinking about running one of these shocks in the rear and going more progressive in the front. Idk though. Don't have the cash really for qa1. Going to do a 2/3 drop soon. Need some shock advise along with this guy. Thankyou.
